New guide to planning enforcement in the South Downs

November 18, 2015

As the planning authority for the National Park we expect land owners and developers to comply with planning laws and not carry out development without the necessary planning permission. We are committed to ensuring that planning, and other environmental controls are enforced and where consent is granted, approved plans and conditions are followed.

Our new South Downs Enforcement Guide explains how complaints are investigated, prioritised and what action we can take when planning permission is breached.
